beapi.js

Manage BEdita API calls on your javascript client using this tiny library in your application.

Use in the browser

• Via npm:

    npm install beapi.js

• Via bower:

    bower install beapi.js

• Via download and reference:

  • Download beapi.js

  • Include in your app

      <script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/beapi.js"></script>

Promise Polyfill

beapi.js uses the new standard Promise object (can i use?) provided by EcmaScript 6. If you use bower or npm, the polyfill is a dependency of the project, otherwise you can download it here.

Compatibility

beapi.js is based on the standard XMLHttpRequest, so it is not compatible (yet) with IE8 and IE9.

BTW, if you are using jQuery or any other library with a built-in ajax system, you can replace the BEApi.xhr function with the one you prefer:

BEApi.xhr = $.ajax;

or, if you are using Angular:

.service('$beapi', ['$http', function($http) {
	BEApi.xhr = $http;
	return new BEApi();
}])

Right now, beapi.js stores access_token, refresh_token and access_token_expire_date in the browser localStorage or using node fs. If your project needs to support browsers without the localStorage interface, or if you want to use other stores, you can replace beapi.storage with another Object with the same interface.
